Over the past month or so I have had such a strong desire to clear stuff out of my life. I started with the kitchen windowseal and the top of the so called scrap book cabinet. Soon after my friend Lisa lent me her book Clearing Your Clutter with Feng Shui. She didn't know I had started and so it was fun for her to think of lending me the book.
Since then I have accomplished getting rid of a bit more clutter.
So why am I sharing? Well I haven't found the memory card reader that Levi used last, it is fun and exciting for me every time I get on more thing accomplished that wont be undone by bedtime, and maybe, just maybe I will inspire someone else to clear some of there own clutter.
So last week it was a few kitchen cuboards and a whole lot of clothes and the boys joined in with a few stuffed animals. I am excited about today because the basket of stuff that has been on my microwave is no longer their. The overly full and under used pen "cup" is also gone. I am so glad I don't ever have to look at those two things in those two places again.
I figure that when we do move someday that I don't want to move anything that doesn't benifit my family. It may take untill the end of the school year, but I don't mind. It feels so good every time more stuff leaves my house.
Let me know if you decide to join in the clutter clearing fun.

I know what you mean. We have so much junk that I didn't lknow we had. I thought I got rid of a lot of things before we moved and now that were in our house I've been getting rid of things left and right. i might even have a bag of clothes for you once I am all done unloading all the boxes I have.
Pregnancy always helps me feel like my house needs to be cleaned out. It is so liberating to get rid of stuff you know you are not using. Have fun!
Oh, I'm getting motivated. I just need the kids to take naps, so I can start doing something about it. :)
You'll have to post pictures--I'd love to see the after product!
Cleaning! It's such a LOVE/HATE relationship! I'm with you though - It's always easier to breath, and such a great feeling when one more area is clean :) I'm taking the challenge!
